When I first read this thread, I thought it said, "Heath Ledger, you're needed on the stage."

I read it the same way.
I love Heather Headley

Posted: 1/23/08 at 12:08amSaw her in concert with Anthony Hamilton in 2006 and she was absolutely fantastic. That was my first time seeing her live & I'd love to see her on Broadway!!

Posted: 1/23/08 at 4:19pmShe definitely has a great voice that needs to be heard by more and more people.

Posted: 1/23/08 at 5:35pmLoved her Lion King. Loved her singing in Aida. Her speaking and acting were a disappointment, however. Sherie stole the show as far as I was concerned.

I would love to see her too... but poor thang is tynna be a music star!!! But I'm sorry... has anyone heard of her pop music? I mean, not bought her pop music because you're a theatre fan, but just a layperson who buys pop music???
I saw her on Soul Train recently and she looked a mess. Sounds GREAT!!! But looked a Hawt Azz Mess.... I hope she can get herself together and get her butt back on stage where she belongs!

I've listened to her first pop album and was disappointed. Why waste a voice like Heather's on hip-hop?

Posted: 1/26/08 at 3:54amToo bad the show is closing. She'd fit that role excellently.

She's just waiting for the right part. Probably a smart move. Would hate to have her come back only to be told to go away.

She sure wouldnt come back to replace someone. She's been nominated for Grammys and had a pretty successful record.
I liked her alot in The Lion King and Do Re Mi, but thought she was very mannered in Aida (overacting, which you can hear on the recording). Her vocals are terrible in the Dreamgirls concert, but the role is out of her range, and they were all in poor voice due to the strains at the time.
